Trying to sell JJ while he's got a broken foot would be nuts.

Especially when that negative ninny Kieran Maguire is saying we’re fine FFP-wise.

I'm not saying we should. Just stating a broken foot is not an ACL injury and as long as they have allowed it to fully heal (and a medical should be able to show that), it shouldn't be a case of seeing if the player is affected.

With that logic he shouldn’t have been out for the best part of a season. Clearly there’s some complexity to it which hopefully will have all been sorted by pre-season. Fully fit JJ in the champions league could see the £40m figure doubling!

The wonders of Wikipedia.November 2014 Xavi said he was good enough to play for Barcelona.

Agreed.  Particularly after a failed come back.

Let's hope so, we struggled on that left side all season really in Ramsey's absence. I don't see Barkley as an option in that role at all. A fitter Rogers possibly though I think he's better further up the pitch. Buendia played there a bit but again would be better further forward too.

Players that have left us and done a good comeback? From my memory Gordon Cowans and Ashley Young.

I'm backing Diaby to do a Bailey and have a storming second season. He'll need better behind him than Moreno or Digne in my opinion.

I don't recall Diaby playing much in front of either?

I thought some of Diaby’s performances this year have been truly piss poor
But that turn and run to create the equaliser against Liverpool was a thing of wonder, more of that please

I think Digne had a great season and Moreno was brilliant the season before, before a horrible injury
